New Tires on 07 Ranger

New Tires on 07 Ranger
I have a 07 Ranger XLT 4cyl/5 speed
the stock Contis are crap, if I go to the dumps or my other property
in the wine country (both dirt roads) all I get is loose traction and spinning
Since my truck has the tire pressure monitoring system, if I just replaced my 225/70/15 with some traction type 235/75/15, could I use the same rims and TPMS monitors and everything is fine or are they specific only to the stock sizes??
After driving for over 30 years, I know what a tire looks like when it's low or out of air

ok thanks all
was looking to put BFG A/T's in 30x9.50x15
on my truck as I had them before on other vehicles
this one tire store I talked to said 235/75/15 is the biggest I can get on there
want to have a nice looking functional tire and fill the wheel well too without rubbing, after all it's only a 4, so don't want to lose power (which don't have a lot of to spare)

"The United States government has passed legislation that requires all new passenger vehicles (beginning with 2007 model year vehicles) to be equipped with tire pressure monitoring systems."

This is how the one in the ranger works:
Indirect System...
use the vehicle's antilock braking system's wheel speed sensors to compare the rotational speed of one tire vs. the others. If one tire is low on pressure, it will roll at a different number of revolutions per mile than the other three tires, and alert the vehicle's onboard computer.
No need to worry about rims or tire size, just make sure all 4 are the same.

Had to go to the "Other Sizes" column to find your 30/9.5/15 size... but it has it. Hope it helps.
